The GOP controls all 3 branches of the government. Should start taking responsibility.

No

Majority doesn't equal control.

Notice it took Dem votes to open the gov. If GOP had control that wouldn't be necessary.

I have noticed that many are unfamiliar with how our government works.

http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-dru...heir-tax-plan/
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/why-is-...in-the-senate/

So much misinformation, and I just don't understand it with the world at our fingertips these days.

If "ignorance is bliss", not sure why so many liberals wear a perpetual frown.

They are not legal. If you believe otherwise, cite the Federal Immigration Law that makes them so.

And it is reasonably obvious that their status will change to a legal one over the next months.
They are illegal aliens. Where's the law that authorizes Obama to create DACA?

It is by the DACA which is an EO. And obviously legal as the courts have ordered that the Administration continue renewing such permits.

An EO with an expiration date, placed in there by Obama himself. They're NOT legal. They have a temporary stay of deportation by "policy" only.

Let it expire. Deport them all. They can then apply to immigrate from their country of citizenship, if they wish to do so.

How does it feel to belong to the Nazi party headed by a fascist?

This country is becoming pretty disgusting. And the cult wonders why people think Trump is like Hitler, Stalin and all the other authoritarian dictators?

"...While hundreds of thousands protested in Women’s March around the world on Saturday, police boarded a Greyhound bus in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and demanded proof of citizenship from every passenger..."

If they must be shielded from Deportation, how the hell can they be Legal?

Were they Legal, they would not fear Deportation.
